Nixon was POTUS when I was born. I was too young to remember either Nixon or Ford, but I do remember Carter as President. He held the office right when I was old enough to start understanding what the POTUS was.
@Impious_Jade Carter lost to Reagan because Reagan said things to people that helped them deny reality. Carter was a truthsayer, and many people didn't want to hear that message. What might have been if Reagan had lost in '80....
I'm guessing we're about the same age, because that lines up perfectly with my memory.
& I remember him losing to Reagan, tho' I didn't know or understand why, at the time. I mean I was just a little kid.
In the years since, he's remained a quietly humble, truly *good* person, serving the world & being one of the best examples of his faith.
